Boise State split their final two games of the season at home - though one was moved off-campus - and the rest of the area programs had a rough outing as Gonzaga and Washington State teams went winless.
It was a good week, however, for a pair of players from Spokane with Kara Marbury guiding Illinois to a big win in a return from a concussion and Julia Moravec played a big role in a pair of wins for Seattle University.
Here is a round-up of the action last week:
WOMEN #############
BIG SKY CONFERENCE
Southern Utah 0 :: 4 Idaho
Four different players tallied for the Vandals, but Josilyn Daggs played a role in setting up three of them. She combined with Olivia Baggerly just after the half-hour mark to set up Kavita Battan for the opener. In the second half she found the head of Alyssa Lloyd (Spokane, WA) in the 55th minute with a cross out of the corner and fed a throw-in to Reagan Quigley to set up Baggerly's tally in the 70th. Elexis Schlossarek capped the scoring with a penalty in the 88th and Amanda Poertner finished the game with five saves for a program record seven shutouts in a season. MORE [+]
Montana 2 :: 1 Idaho State
Mackenzie Akins led the Grizzlies to the win, setting up Ellie Otteson with a cross just under two minutes into the match. She scored what proved to be the game-winner on a counter of an ISU corner in the 54th minute, receiving a long ball from Dani Morris and beating a defender before finding the back of the net. The Bengals fought back with a goal from Kayla Mizo in the 85th minute via Tristen Spooner, but came up short. MORE [+]
The Eagles held a three-goal advantage at the break against the Lumberjacks. Chloe Williams (Spokane, WA) started things off with a goal and assist, finding the head of Jenny Chavez with a corner 18 minutes into the contest and then scored herself courtesy of Abby Klinkenberg in the 37th. Delaney Romero (Yakima, WA / Walla Walla CC) scored 15 seconds before the break on a cross from Savannah Hoekstra (Spokane, WA). Williams set up another goal in the 62nd minute of the contest, finding Tasha Luu (Colville, WA / CC Spokane) for what proved to be needed insurance as NAU rallied with two late goals, getting one in the 77th and another that was set up by Ashlynn Curnow (Boise, ID) in the 87th.

San Francisco 3 :: 2 Gonzaga
After falling behind seven minutes in, the Bulldogs rallied on back-to-back goals to grab the lead before the 17-minute mark. Lexi Clark stripped the ball off a Don defender and scored from about 25 yards on the right side to even things up in the 14th minute and three minutes later Karley Baggerly beat two defenders as she drove into the middle of the box from the left flank to slip the ball in at the near post. The visitors tied it up, though, in the 34th and managed to get the lone goal of the second half for the victory in the 71st. MORE [+]

Back on their own home turf for Senior Day, senior midfielder Brooke Heidemann delivered yet again with a game-winner in the 71st minute in which drove through a number of players and scored from about 16 yards. She also helped create the first goal as she and Hannah Smith applied pressure. Heidemann blocked the first clearance and Smith blocked the second attempt, this time with the deflection looping over the goalkeeper from 15 yards off the deflection in the second minute of the second half.
